My artwork takes several forms. An idea that develops in a print may suggest the possibility of exploring that idea in sculptural form or become an installation. I find the monotype particularly suited to working in the immediate and inspiring a series of images. The prints make connections with each other and present a story as some of the elements change and others are added. It is through the process of working that the how and why of a project comes to light. A buried memory, contemporary issues, communication or lack thereof, something pushes its way to the surface to reveal the catalyst behind the image.
